What is money? How does the stock market work? Who controls the Fed? Where is the banking industry headed? The hugely expanded fifth edition of Real World Banking and Finance provides lively answers to these questions and is an excellent supplement to introductory macroeconomics and finance textbooks.

"I have been using Dollars & Sense publications for nearly 20 years. I find them absolutely necessary for students to understand progressive, critical, real-world perspectives that are sorely absent in mainstream texts and readers. These magnificently clear and relevant articles open many students' eyes and cause others to reexamine their adopted views.'"

—George A. Jouganatos, California State University, Sacramento

"I thoroughly enjoy using Real World Banking in class. The readings allow students to critically appraise the conventional wisdom and traditionally sacrosanct institutions such as the Fed and the 'free market.'"

—Kurt Keiser, Western State College, Gunnison, Colorado
